re: Movie or tv scene that hits you at your core.

I know it may seem silly to some, but the "Papa" scene in the Patriot always used to tear me up. Just the way she's crying and telling him to please don't go and she'll say whatever he wants her to. Just always used to hit me.

Papa!


ETA: Yup, just watched it and started crying in my office. I have no idea why, but that scene has always broken me up.

Both of those as well. Also the conversation he has with his Mom on her deathbed. Movie really pulled at the heartstrings and yet it is so rewatchable.

I hope everyone "gets it" because it's an overly simple narrative done via spoon-feeding.

i know it's an unpopular opinion, but I agree with you. SVP is a good movie that I do enjoy, but that last scene just beats you over the head yelling CRY AT THIS MOVIE.

It's the woman tucking her kids into bed while the ship is sinking that gets me in that part of the movie

Yeah I almost used that one instead. The two scenes are like back to back and it kills me every time.

Platoon - when King (Keith David) is informed he's getting out a few days early. The speech he gives Charlie Sheen:

quote:

Chris Taylor : It's the way the whole thing works. People like Elias get wasted. People like Barnes just go on making up the rules any way they want. So what do we do? Sit in the middle and suck on it. We just don't add up to dry shite, King.

King : Whoever said we did, man? All you got to do is make it out of here, and it's all gravy. Every day, the rest of your life, gravy.

Spoilers for Ted Lasso:








When Ted talks about his father suicide I cried For like the first time in 10 years.

I had Just become a father and I was Operating on like 2 hours sleep a night, but it was absolutely heart wrenching.

(Then onto the very end as the sun shines through a faded, waving American flag.)

When Tim McGraw grabs Billingsley's helmet and puts the ring on his finger in FNL

Band of Brothers when Malarkey goes to get his laundry and then just keeps paying for dead mens clothes cuz he can’t bring himself to tell her they are gone.

Then the scene later in the church where Lip is rostering who is left and they fade out everyone who is gone.

That whole mini series might’ve the greatest thing ever filmed.

Slightly different get to you. Speirs runs thru enemy lines at Foy then RUNS BACK!
